that is a fair point but iirc prior versions of the Agreement (emphasis on the upper-case A) were not separated in quite the same way from the vst2 agreements, and those get overridden by signing this one. there's a long paper trail on this one and all the bits aren't available online to check easily.kperry wrote: Mon Mar 18, 2024 9:56 am I am not a lawyer, but usually a capitalised word (Agreement) means something very specific and is defined in the header of the contract. With that in mind, would Agreement mean VST 3 "agreements", especially in light of 1.6? ie. Signing this Agreement (VST 3) terminates and replaces all other Agreements (VST 3) and explicitly does not refer to other agreements there may be with Steinberg, in particular those relating to VST 2 development or hosting?
I've written it elsewhere, but I think steinberg has either the worst lawyers or has intentionally made the situation unclear to encourage devs to pull out of vst2 support while at the same time trying to steer clear of any potential antitrust action that might come from them actively forcing devs to pull out of vst2 support.
